Science & Innovation 2014: Foresighting Trajectories for Advanced Innnovative...Innogen
The UK currently faces an unprecedented array of innovation opportunities. Many important initiatives are being designed to support the translation of basic science into practical outcomes, as well as to ensure we capitalise on the economic and societal benefit from the research we fund. To maximise this impact, there is a need for a radically new approach to innovation support from the social science and policy communities – one that helps us better understand the factors that determine which products and processes reach the marketplace, over what timescales, and in which industry sectors, regions or countries. Innogen works to effectively foresight future outcomes of specific policies, regulatory initiatives, innovation support mechanisms and investment decisions, and identify gaps in regulatory capacity to be responsive to the rapid pace of innovation in advanced technology sectors. This seminar will explore our approach to the analysis of innovation generation, focusing particularly on where our ideas are having most traction in innovation and policy communities.

Business model experimentations in advancing B2B sharing economy researchMaria Antikainen
The sharing economy has potential to be the solution to the urgent need to use materials and resources more efficiently. In the consumer business sector, several successful business models on sharing exist, while industry is lagging behind in development. In order to innovate novel business models for sharing in the B2B context, we need to develop a methodology for testing the ideas flexibly and cost-efficiently. In addition to companies, testing ideas can offer great value for research organizations exploring this phenomenon. In this paper, we present a business model experimentation method focusing on the research organization’s perspective on how to design and implement a business model experimentation. In addition, we provide valuable insights for companies aiming to test their sharing economy business model. Our study is a case study on sharing a 3D printer.

The ability to continuously innovate is crucial for business growth – and often necessary for survival. Leaders in an uncertain and fast-paced global business regularly seek innovation to revitalise rigid business models and processes. However, they are aware that ‘innovation is hard’ and fraught with uncertainty. I contend that Big Data Analytics – in addition to its many other business benefits – can guide the innovation process to make it more efficient, effective and predictable.
Big Data Analytics promotes the application of a data-driven mindset that ‘listens to the data’ for new insights and disrupts entrenched thinking that hinders innovation. It applies what-if analysis to assess impact of new ideas on key business metrics and uses evidence-based business performance analysis to track the impact of innovation. Integrating Big Data Analytics into the business planning and operational processes provides valuable feedback loops and enables an adaptive innovation process.
In short, Big Data Analytics can spark innovation, guide its refinement and adoption processes and sustain its ongoing implementation.

Realising the Value Stakeholder Event -Workshop: How does the system support Nesta
Workshop D - How does the system support communities/individuals and how could it do it better?
The levers and drivers that national bodies put in place and how these are used locally have a significant impact on working in partnership with communities and patients. These levers and drivers include regulation, targets, outcomes measures, financial flows, annual contracting cycles, clinical standards, workforce training and revalidation etc.
This workshop will draw upon your experience and evidence to address two questions:
How these levers and drivers get in the way of working in partnership with patients and communities?
What is the best blend of approaches to support commissioners and providers locally to harness the energy of patients and communities

Workshop B - Let's think in terms of behaviour: What changes do we want to see?
Participants will be shown how the Behavioural Insights Team approach projects in terms of targeting specific behaviours to change. Participants will then work together to do just this for the Realising the Value programme, thinking about what changes they would like to see amongst people, patients and practitioners. This will help form outcome measures for the RtV programme and will give participants a new way of thinking about making tangible change happen in their own organisations.
Realising the Value Stakeholder Event - Workshop: How do we understand value? Nesta
Workshop A - How do we understand value?
In many cases the alignment between what people want and what is provided is poor. The needs, abilities and aspirations of the individual are often not given enough recognition in "treatment " services or choices as commissioners may not be able to assess the value of non traditional interventions.
Realising the Value aims to underpin the NHS Five Year Forward View with a new articulation of the value of engaging people and communities. This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to explore an approach to value which goes beyond 'value for money' and identifies the three domains of personal, social and economic value that constitute effective person centred designed and led interventions for improving health and social care outcomes

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

12. 1736 new Twitter following
connections between attendees
after LeWeb’12 London
24% ↑ in total number of
following connections between
attendees
8% ↑ in total number of
following connections made by
attendees with non-attendees
HASANGreen lines are the following connections between attendees at the LeWeb12 London conference formed in the three months after the conference. The light blue lines are the new following connections between attendees and speakers. The dark blue lines are the new following connections involving speakers.Within that three-month period, 1736 new following connections formed between attendees. After allowing for un-following activity, this represents a 24% increase in the number of connections between attendees. This compares with an 8% increase in the number of their following connections with non-attendees. Can we attribute all of this to the event? Unfortunately not! There is massive self-selection in event attendance – people go along tend to have common interests which means that they are more likely to form new connections with each other than with others. Running a controlled experiment where you randomly decide which events people can go to is not realistic! But we are exploring ways of using other data, including other properties of individuals’ Twitter networks, to control for their propensity to follow each other.
HASANAdditional connections are valuable insofar as they lead to information flows that would not otherwise flow so directly and greater awareness. But on their own the connections are weak. We also want to know if they trigger stronger connections; content analysis of the tweets may give proximate indications. The frequency with which words like ‘meeting’ and ‘email’ appear in this wordcloud trivially illustrates what I’m getting at, but what we’re looking at in much greater depth.
